The FireNEX-5000 has taken USB 3.0 over 100+ meters. It is the world’s first USB 3.0 optical repeater (extender)! It uses industry standard optical fiber and is plug and play. This opens many possibilities for the use of USB 3.0 in Machine Vision, security and scientific fields. Without a repeater, the practical length limit for a USB 3.0 cable is 3 meters.

A FireNEX-5000 set includes one FireNEX-5000 device unit (upstream) and one FireNEX-5000 host unit (downstream), a user’s manual and a single FIRENEX5POWER 5V power supply. A single FIRENEX5POWER is included to power the device end which requires an external power source. The host unit may be bus powered by the computer. If power cannot be provided by the computer then a power supply such as the FIRENEX5POWER will need to be purchased. The optical cable and USB 3.0 cables are not included. FireNEX-5000 comes with one-year manufacturer warranty.

Note: The FireNEX-5000 works with USB 3.0 signals only and is not backward compatiable with USB 2.0 and below.

Use LCLC-5000-XXXX Newnex LC optical cables with the FireNEX-5000.
